bitter prejudice against Jews, which
obtains in many parts of Europe,
ought not to receive any countenance
in America. 1t is because se is Jew
that ] would urge his appointment
as fit recognition of this remarka-
bic people, who are becoming large
contributors to American prosperity,
and whose Intelligence, morality, and
large liberality IN all public meas
ures for the welfare of society de-
serve and should receive from the
heads of our government some snch
recognition. Is it not also a du-
ty to set forth in this quiet but
eifectual method the genius of
American government, which has
under its fostering care peopla of all
civalized nations, and which treats
them, without regard to civil, religi-
Gus or race peculiarities, as common
citizens? We send Danes to Den
mark; Germans to Germany; we re-
ject no man because he isa French
man. Why should we not make a
crowning testimony to the genius of
our people oy sending Hebrew to
Turkey? The Ignorance and super
stition of medieval Europe may ac-
count for the prejudice of that dark
age, but how a Christian in our day
can turn from a Jew | can not i'm
agine.
"Christianlty itself suckled at the
bosom of Judaism; our roots are in
the Old Testament. We are Jews
ourselves gone to blossom and fruit,
Christianity is Judaism in evolution,
and it would seem strange for the
seed to turn against the stalk on
which it was grown"

WHArrH THE UNrT'D STATES Is DONG.

The feeling is very general that
were great war to take place III
Europe, the United States could not
avoid some sort of ENHANCEMENT.
Hence the appropriations passed by
Congress for guns, forts, torpedo
boats, and Notifications. The people.
do not want to fight, and are reluc-
tant to spend vast sums of money on
armamcnts which they hope never
to use. Then they are afraid, more-
over, that this clamor as to our dan
ger is in the interest of contractors,
who would like to handle some of
the government money. But it is
certain that the vast body Of our
people look with apprehension on
our exposed sea-coast. Property to
the amount of $4,000, 100000 is,
they say, at the mercy of any ma
ton that has a fleet. They recall
the fact that in the war of 1912, in
an era of sailing ships, Washington
was captured by the British and our
Capitol burned. Correz aud Pizarro
conquered Mexico and Peru, coun-
tries that had done the Spaniards 10
harm, but the cupidity of the latter
was excited by the fact that those
nations were unprotected, and had
an abundance of gold and silver
which could be seized. China was
always peaceful empire, living
within itself and avoiding foreign in
tercourse; but its people were un-
warlike and defenseless, which fact
was taken advantage Of by Great
Britain and France, two of the fore
most of modern civilized nations, to
conquer and plunder this rich aud
populous country. 1t is these con-
siderations that have led to a feeling
that we should not be open to insult
and probably to spoliation. And so
it comes about that the United States
without wish to trespass on other
nations, and with no love of fighting,
is busying itself with armameuts,
Notifications, and warships. Demo

Can anything be sweeter than the
following from Nym Crinkle on the
death of Beecher:
We must not regard Mr.. Beech
er's death as the extinguishment of
taper, rather let us think of 1t as
the explosion of meteor that throws
a sudden light upon the world and
reveals many noble deeds and few
crawling and obscene creatures.
1t was this final blaze that lit up
the curious band of Congregational
lists in Chicago, drawing their ply
lactcries close and refusing to be hu-
man, because it wasn't in their creed.

Give your wife \ vacation. S

Give your wife vacation. She
needs one. Little cares are harder
to bear than greater responsibilities,
and she has many more cares than
her husband, ard sometimes as great
responsibilities. a woman's work is
never done. And modern life has
increased and intensified it. Cares
have multiplied faster than conven-
fences. Life is more complex, its
demands are greater and more nu-
merous, and society more exacting.
Who needs a vacation, if she does
not? And she cannot get it a, home.
The more quiet aud restful the home
is to you, the more evidence that it
is a care, if not BURDEN, to her. A
housekeeper can no more take va
cation in her home than a merchant
in his counting-house. Even though
her absence occasions Inconvenience,
give her All occasional vacation. L

Not that some day comfy seat
would be built here. With a strong
resolution, and determined will,
he rowed up the river, from the
Ohio, through a wilderness inhabit-
ed by ferocious beasts, and blood
thirsty Indians. When night came
on, he and his little family would
go on land and prepare for a nights
rest. If it was storming and rain
ing they would turn their skiff bot
tom upward, and it made the only
roof they owned. Under it they
slept and dreamed of better days
coming. They arose with the sun,
and after they had launched their
canoe, they loaded in their effects;
and padded their way up the river.
They had no time to, observe the
beauty of the long dropping
branches festooning the rapid
stream, they did not notice the
beautiful flowers bending and nod
ing to them as they passed along.
They had a higher and more noble
object in view, and that was to find
and establish home. Up the
river they come looking at this
place and that place, rowing
leisurely along, now going arounda
log and the steering clear of tree
top, they went their way up, but
finally splash is heard, the skiff
has upset, and their store of pro-
visions is in the water, but the
skiff is soon set right and all is
placed in it. Two strong hands
grasps the oars, and with that will
that marks the character of the
first settlers, they press onward un-
til they reach the place where
Logan now stands. Here they
halted for the night. When the
morning repast was to be prepared
the good wife discovered that the
only sack of corn meal they were
n possession of was mouldy and
almost unfit for use, and it must
do them, until something can be
grown. 1t was trne that Mr..
Westenhaver had his gun and axe,
the most important implements Of
a pioneer, add to them an auger
and he could build his house, and
with his gun he could procure
supper of meat for his family, and
protect them from wild beasts.
Counseling over their condit on they
concluded to fix upon this place as
their future home. This was early
in the spring of 1898. Mr.. Weston
haver was soon followed by the
Brian's, Pence's and Francisco's.
And in few years they had quite
q settlement. Their nearest neigh
bors were at Lancaster. LOgan's
growth has been slow, but it has
been a steady step forward, and the
present prospect is better than
ever before. The city can soon be
supplied with gas of which you
have an abundance near at hand.
Don't listen to the croaking of a
few of the "don't want to improve"
Kind and in near future your city
will have Il boom, B.
